How can I help my child who is two and a half years old and doesn't understand the meaning of words?

Patient's question:

Why is it that my child, who is two and a half years old, still doesn't understand the meaning of words? Everything else seems fine, but they dislike watching TV. When they want to eat, they just pull on an adult's hand and never respond verbally.
Treatment history and effectiveness: No specific treatment has been provided.
Help offered: Is this common? Is the problem serious?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to check the growth and development situation. Children in this age group are still in the language development period. As long as parents can properly guide their children, their problems can be treated. The environment plays a very important role in children's development. Therefore, it is necessary to create a good language environment for children.
Guidance: In daily life, parents should communicate more with their children, teach them to recite rhymes, and tell them stories, without worrying if they understand. When parents speak to their children, they should pay attention to their speaking speed and tone. The speaking speed should be slow and steady, and the voice should be gentle. Parents should consciously encourage their children to express themselves more. During the process of expression, parents should not interrupt the children but can provide simple prompts.
Best wishes.
